Failure Mode E

Mode E - Open In Driver's Airbag Inflator or Cable Reel

MODE E: OPEN IN DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR OR CABLE REEL.

NOTE: The radio may have a 5-digit coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before disconnecting the battery cables.

1. Before disconnecting any part of the SRS wire harness, the positive cable. Install the short connector(s) (RED) on the airbag(s).





2. Connect Test Harness B (O7MAZ-SPOO5OO) between the SRS unit and SRS main harness 18-P connector.





3. Reconnect the driver's airbag connector, then check the resistance between the B1 and the B7 terminals.
- If resistance is more than 0.2 Kilo Ohm, go to step 4.
- If resistance is less than 0.2 Kilo Ohm, the SRS unit is faulty. Substitute a known-good SRS unit and recheck the voltages.

4. Disconnect the cable reel 6-P connector from the SRS main harness, then connect Test Harness C (O7LAZ-SL40300) only to the cable reel side of the connector.





5. Measure the resistance between the No.4 terminal and the No.5 terminal.





- If resistance is more than 0.2 Kilo Ohm, go to step 6.
- If resistance is less than 0.2 Kilo Ohm, the SRS main harness is faulty. Replace it and recheck the voltages.

6. Disconnect the driver's airbag 3-P connector from the cable reel harness, then connect Test Harness C (O7LAZ-6L40300) to the driver's airbag 3-P connector.





7. Measure the resistance between the No.7 terminal and the No.8 terminal.





- If resistance is more than 0.2 Kilo Ohm, the driver's airbag inflator is faulty. Replace the airbag assembly and recheck the voltages.
- If resistance is less than 0.2 Kilo Ohm, the cable reel is faulty. Replace it and recheck the voltages.
